Galloway Girls Golf Development Programme
On 6th November, 2022 our newly appointed Capitan Gwen and Past Captain Jackie, took Eva Hare & Sofia McCutcheon to Kingbarns GC to participate in the Scottish Golf Kingbarns Girls Classic. They found it to be a very well organised day and Eva & Sofia very much enjoyed their experience.
